The Streaked Seed-eater was met with in the neighbour- 

 liood of Addis Abbaba, in Kaffa. Kullo, Gofa, and Walarao. 

 The southern form from Ruwenzori and the Mufumbiro 

 Volcanoes has recently been separated under the name 

 S. s. graueri Hartert. Birds in ]\Iay, June and July are in 

 freshly moulted plumage, while those collected in October 

 and November are much worn. Some specimens have the 

 chin and upper part of the throat very distinctly washed 

 w'ith yellow ; this is especially the case in a male from 

 Managasha killed in October and a female from Jimma in 

 May. The yellow wash is often more or less present and 

 appears to be most pronounced in the oldest examples.

The Somali Golden -breasted Bunting was only found 

 at the north end of Lake Rudolf and in the country to the 

 north of Lake Stefanie, about the Sagan River. Professor 

 Neumann does not seem to have met with it. Two apj)arently 

 immature birds marked female have the crown blackish 

 chestnut^ and the stripe down the middle pale rusty red : 

 the fully adult female does not seem to differ from the adult 

 male, for in the most mature specimen the crown is black 

 and the median stripe white.

Emberiza afflnis omoensis Neumann, J. f. O. 1905, p. 358. 



Three examples of Swainson's Golden-breasted Bunting 

 were procured in Jimma, Kaffa and Walamo respectively : 

 they do not differ in any way from a typical example of 

 E.forbesi Hartl. from the Upper White Nile { = E. affinis 

 Heugl ) and I do not therefore recognise E. a. omoensis 

 Neumann, which appears to nic to be a pure synonym. This
